When to Buy Your Plane Ticket, Based on Data from Four Million Trips
When you’re booking a flight, you don’t want to buy too far in advance—and be the guy who lost out on a price drop; nor do you want to book too late—and pay hundreds more for the convenience. When’s the best time to buy? CheapAir crunched the numbers from over four million tickets bought last year to offer some advice.
Those four million tickets add up to a database of 1.3 billion air fares. What they found, at least for domestic airfares, is there’s a "prime booking window" of between 29 and 104 days in advance when the average fare is at its lowest (so, roughly a month to three months before the flight). Taken altogether, 54 days in advance is the best time to buy, based on this data.
As you can see from the chart above, the cost of waiting up to 13 days in advance is enormous.
These real-world findings back up one economist’s calculation of the cheapest time to book a flight
, eight weeks.
CheapAir notes, however, that the exact 54 days in advance number isn’t very important. Prices for each trip will rise and fall volatilely depending on the market and when you’re flying. As a rule of thumb, you should still keep checking fares frequently and grab a good deal when you see one.

Why you should always order the largest pizza in one graphic
This is why I love data and data visualization: The larger the pizza, the cheapest the price per square inch is. Get the largest size, eat the rest at room temperature the next day.

Rinse Bacon in Water Before Cooking to Reduce Shrinkage by 50 Percent
This sounds like a bizarre thing to do, but we’re talking about less bacon shrinkage! Rinse your bacon before you cook it and you’ll have longer strips to enjoy.
This tip has been circling around the interwebs for a while. Fran at the Franalan blog put it to the test and confirmed her bacon did not shrink. Several people at Thrify Fun, BabyCenter, and Art of Manliness report the same. I, sadly, do not have any bacon on hand to rinse, but if it’s on a Snapple real facts cap, it’s definitely worth a try.
Also, cooking bacon in the oven definitely is a superior method, but if you want to cook it in a skillet, Cooking Light suggests you could also prevent some shrinkage by starting with a cold pan and flipping often.

Okay, this is new. At least that’s how I decided to apologize why I didn’t notice this service by IM-Creator earlier. Remember IM-Creator? The homepage builder equipped with templates made by freelance designers itself targets freelance designers and not the DIY thirteen year old son of the CEO’s golf mate. It was this same homepage builder that secretly (well almost…) introduced a new offering named IM FREE. IM FREE hosts curated collections with free, also commercially usable photos. And it contains quite a few gems…
